Investigations into the 20 mechanism of action of lysozyme has provided insight into a general pathway by which optimal binding of the substrate induces a conformational change in the substrate that decreases the activa¬ tion energy of the cleavage reaction. 20 Cliymo trypsin' s mechanism, of action has also been worked out from X-ray analysis and inhibitor binding studies. Serine 195 is thought to be more ionized by a "charge transfer" system involving asparagine 102 and histidine 57 which acts as a general base catalyst. 12 However, from model compound studies Kirby has come to the conclus¬ ion that intramolecular general base catalysis, and in particular the chymotrypsin case, involves only modest rate enhancements insufficient to explain the catalytic efficiency of chymotrypsin. Some mechanism other than general "base catalysis must be invoked to explain the catalytic rate enhancements. Pancreatic carboxypeptidase A has a complicated mechanism of 20 action as suggested by X-ray analysis . The terminal carboxyl group of the substrate is bound to arginine l45 , which moves 0.2 nm., and the R group of that residue is bound in a hydrophobic pocket. Tryo- sine 2U8 moves 1.4 nm. until its hydroxyl group is near the nitrogen of the amide bond. Zinc, bound to the enzyme, is coordinated with the carbonyl oxygen of the amide bond. The zinc atom both orients and polarizes the carbonyl group. Glutamine 270 moves towards the carbo¬ nyl carbon attacking it with cleavage of the amide bond, while 1 2 tyrosine 2h8 donates a proton to the nitrogen forming a free amino acid and an enzyme-peptide complex. The complex is then hydrolyzed by vater, Evidence for the covalent intermediate comes from the iso¬ lation of a gamma ester of glutamine 270 upon degradation of the en¬ zyme which has been treated with bromoacetyl-N-methylphenylalanine, a substrate analog. ^ 7 13 1 Dr. Coward's laboratory ’ * 5 has been interested in the mechanism of methyl transfer involving S-adenosylmethionine (SAM). 3 These enzymes catalyze nucleophilic attack at sp carbon as opposed to sp^ carbon. Early studies on these systems were hampered because SAM is not sufficiently stable in water to permit thorough kinetic study of methyl transfer to a variety of nucleophiles. The following model com' pound was chosen for study: ft R=CH3, C6H , CH30 X=H, N02, Cl, C00R’, CH , CH^O, OH (para) C00R', C00H 5 CH3, H0CHo, CH NH2 (ortho) Various nucleophiles, including R0", R N, RS“, I~, and S2°3~’ were usede "The results can be summarized as follows: 1. The reaction of sulfonium compounds with oxyanions requires elevated temperatures in spite of a large negative free energy of reac¬ tion; i.e., a large energy of activation is associated with the process. 2. The sensitivity of k to electronic substituent effects on the sulfonium pole is not unusually large (p=1.5). 3 3. A large solvent effect, together with the increased pK of amines in acetonitrile, results in the facile reaction of amines with sulfonium compounds at lower temperatures in that solvent. A. The sensitivity of k^ to electronic substitution effects on the sulfonium pole in acetonitrile (P=1.6-1.7) agrees veil with that for k_„ in water. 5. The Bronsted 0 value (0.35) obtained for reaction of a series of amines with (p-nitrophenyl)dimethylsulfo'-ium perchlorate in¬ dicates that the transition state is formed early along the reaction coordinate. 6, The Swain-Scott ’s' value (l.l) for reaction of inorganic nucleophiles with this sulfonium compound leads to the save conclusion. Softer, more polarizable nucleophiles react more readily than harder nucleophiles. These findings lead to the conclusion that the transition state occurs early along the reaction coordinate resembling an 0 2 reaction. It is important to note that the arrangement of S, methyl, and nucleo¬ phile must be linear. Another important concept is the large solvent effect. Both concepts are important to keep in mind when devising a catalytic pathway followed hy a SAM requiring enzyme. A serious drawback to the above work is the use of elevated temperatures and/or nonpolar solvents. In order to study general base catalysis in SAM dependent reactions, a variety of added buffer species would be necessary, precluding the use of nonpolar solvents. Hence, it was decided to study facile intramolecular methylation reactions. Surprisingly, it has been difficult to find such reactions because of the necessary collinear approach of the nucleophile. h 7a The first reaction tried was the endocyclic reaction 1. * SC-XH -//“t [§Cxc« +• H® (1) 2_vas exceedingly stable to conditions favorable to nucleophilic attack.

Since nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy failed to show any ylide formation of _5 as measured by exchange of the methine proton in 0.01 M N O.K NaOD in deuterated methanol, the stability of k_ is not explained by non- lf reactivity of the sulfur center by ylide formation. A second explanation involves steric repulsion between the nucleophile and the methylene pro- 10 tons of C^, C^, Cg and Cq as seen in the adamantine series .

Received: 22 October 2020; Accepted: 7 December 2020; Published: 12 December 2020 Abstract: Phenolic compounds are secondary metabolites widely spread throughout the plant kingdom that can be categorized as flavonoids and non-flavonoids. Interest in phenolic compounds has dramatically increased during the last decade due to their biological effects and promising therapeutic applications. In this review, we discuss the importance of phenolic compounds’ bioavailability to accomplish their physiological functions, and highlight main factors affecting such parameter throughout metabolism of phenolics, from absorption to excretion. Besides, we give an updated overview of the health benefits of phenolic compounds, which are mainly linked to both their direct (e.g., free-radical scavenging ability) and indirect (e.g., by stimulating activity of antioxidant enzymes) antioxidant properties. Such antioxidant actions reportedly help them to prevent chronic and oxidative stress-related disorders such as cancer, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, among others. Last, we comment on development of cutting-edge delivery systems intended to improve bioavailability and enhance stability of phenolic compounds in the human body. Keywords: antioxidant activity; bioavailability; flavonoids; health benefits; phenolic compounds 1.

    Topics in Catalysis https://doi.org/10.1007/s11244-021-01422-3 ORIGINAL PAPER Competitive Hydrogenation and Hydrodeoxygenation of Oxygen‑Substituted Aromatics over Rh/Silica: Catechol, Resorcinol and Hydroquinone Kathleen Kirkwood1 · S. David Jackson1 Accepted: 9 March 2021 © The Author(s) 2021 Abstract The competitive hydrogenation and hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of dihydroxybenzene isomers, catechol (1,2-dihydroxyben- zene), resorcinol (1,3-dihydroxybenzene) and hydroquinone (1,4-dihydroxybenzene), was studied in the liquid phase over a Rh/silica catalyst at 323 K and 3 barg hydrogen pressure. Under competitive hydrogenation conditions an order of reactivity of ortho > para > meta was observed. Catechol initially inhibited resorcinol and hydroquinone hydrogenation but not HDO suggesting separate sites for hydrogenation and HDO. When resorcinol and hydroquinone were reacted competitively, HDO became the favoured reaction. The data suggested that cyclohexane and cyclohexanone were primary products. At low dihydroxybenzene (DHB) conversion the ratio of HDO products was dependent upon DHB isomer. When all three DHB isomers were reacted together, initially 86% of the HDO yield came from catechol with the rest from hydroquinone. When resorcinol fnally reacted, HDO products were produced frst. Reaction of DHB isomers in pairs using deuterium instead of hydrogen revealed changes in kinetic isotope efect (KIE). The presence of competing reactants had a dramatic efect on the energetics of hydrogenation and HDO reactions of individual components, reinforcing the view that hydrogenation and HDO are mechanistically separate. This efect on reaction energetics observed when more than one substrate was present, highlights the limitations of studying one single model compound as a route to understanding the processes required for the upgrading of a true bio-oil feed.

Abstract: Within the broad group of Fe non-heme oxidases, our attention was focused on the catechol 1,2- and 2,3-dioxygenases, which catalyze the oxidative cleavage of aromatic rings. A large group of Fe complexes with N/O ligands, ranging from N3 to N2O2S, was developed to mimic the activity of these enzymes. The Fe complexes discussed in this work can mimic the intradiol/extradiol catechol dioxygenase reaction mechanism. Electronic effects of the substituents in the ligand affect the Lewis acidity of the Fe center, increasing the ability to activate dioxygen and enhancing the catalytic activity of the discussed biomimetic complexes. The ligand architecture, the geometric isomers of the complexes, and the substituent steric effects significantly affect the ability to bind the substrate in a monodentate and bidentate manner. The substrate binding mode determines the preferred mechanism and, consequently, the main conversion products. The preferred mechanism of action can also be affected by the solvents and their ability to form the stable complexes with the Fe center. The electrostatic interactions of micellar media, similar to SDS, also control the intradiol/extradiol Citation: Kałdu´nska,K.; mechanisms of the catechol conversion by discussed biomimetics.
